7 Mr.. Tough, of Winchester, has pur-
| chased the pony that strayed from j. B.
Taylor herd whileit was passing through
the Beaver Creek country some time ago.
Mandan Pioneer Mrs. D. M. Water
bury, of Emmens County, is in attendance
at the institute. She is lady Of rare at
tainments and very successful as
teacher. Her method of teaching pri-
mary reading, as illustrated by her in the
Burleigh County institute, is proof of her
completeness.
John Daniel was in town yesterday.
He went from Dawson TO the river for
load of wood, his motive power beng a
yoke of steers. John has been stopping
at Dawson for some time. He thinks of
going east this winter, and Will not re-
turn to his home in the Roop neighbor-
hood until spring.
Lands within the indemnity limit of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, except
such as may have been selected by the
company and approved by the general
| land office, may be filed upon after 10
o'clock a. m. next Monday. A big law.
suit and years of trouble may also be filed
upon at the same time.
Pasturage and stacks around Williams
port ought to be toerably safe from fire
now. With the railroad grade few
miles away toward the north, burned
prairie to the cast, south and southwest,
and the river not many miles west there
don't seem much chance for scorching
this fall or next spring.
Everybody living on the Missouri
Slope knows DR.. Dunn, the oldtlmcr.
In purchasing drugs the public has to de-
pend largely on the dealers statements
as to quality and prices. Nobody ever
had reason to complain of his dealings
with the firm of Dunn s. Co. Therefore,
when in Bismarck, be sure to call on them.
In letter from Omlo the writer says ::
''The fire here did little damage, except
to timber and to grass for stock, so far as
I have heard. Mrs. Carmichaeps dugout
burned, but there was ne great loss as it
was discovered in time to save nearly
everything Mr.. Higbee lost stack Of
hay, but probably has enough left to do
him.
MIR. Bottomley was disappointed in not
getting his feed mill last week, as it had
not arrived at Bismarck. 1t was looked
for every day, however, and will be here
in few days. All the old horses in the
neighborhood held convention the other
day and appointed a committee to wait
on the landlord and request him to hurry
the mill along.
In another column Mr.. A. L. Reynolds,
of Omio, gives his experience the past
season with several varieties of early
corn. He gave the different kinds fair
trial, and prefers Dakota Dent and Mer-
Ger. Mr. Wesley Baker, of Livona also
reports fine crop of Dakota Dent this
year. This corn problem is something in
which all our settlers are interested
| The time draws nigh when the citizens
of Emmons County will begin hauling
their wheat to Bismarck. Every one will
then want to lay in supply of groceries,
and all will desire to deal with u firm that
they feel assured keeps only fresh and
pure goods in stock, and that is satisfied
with reasonable margin of profit. George
Jennings bears this reputation, and if yeu
deal with him you will make no mistake
Tribune: Baker, the man acquitted e
, t'the charge of numbering Peter Olsen, ha!
4 gone west in search of his wife and chill
dren, who left him during his lncarcera
tion. He endeavored without success te
learn of their whereabouts through cor
:, / respondence, and is now on his way tt
Washington Territory to find and reclaim
them. The report that Mrs. Baker ha
married another man has added interes
Ito the case.
Mrs. d. R. Streeter returned Friday
evening last from ten-days' trip through
the Beaver Creek country and in the Hol
land Settlement. She met with splendit
success in obtaining new subscribers TO
the RECORD. and wishes to return thank
for the kindness and hospitality showl
her everywhere. This was her first tril

t there is no finer land in the county thai

Miss Bertha Packer entertained he
young friends last Friday, the occasion

e Keim. There were nineteen guests prei

: and a few of the other kind of kisses wer

no need of stating that good time wa
q had, for our Williamsport young folk
t always have a good time when they ge
t together.
